Scottish Offshore Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) - fisheries management measures: fisheries assessment – North-East Faroe-Shetland Channel NCMPA
These assessments look at the fishing activity occurring within each offshore MPA and SAC and assess the potential impacts of this activity on the protected features within each site. This assessment is for North-East Faroe-Shetland Channel NCMPA and has been updated following public consultation.
7. Conclusion
Scottish Ministers have had regard to the best available evidence and conclude that, provided appropriate management measures for fishing activities as identified above are implemented, any remaining fishing activities would not hinder the conservation objectives of this Nature Conservation Marine Protected Area.
